Don't you hate when cilantro goes bad before you even get a chance to use it? While googling the best way to store it, I ran across this article on vegetablegardener.com. The author experimented with three different storage methods. Here's the winner...

Just put it down in some water and slip a baggie over it. I didn't take a picture, last week when I used it up (on the recipe below), it looked and smelled just as fresh as the day I put it in the fridge. That's two full weeks and it probably would have lasted longer!

I absolutely loved this recipe! Instead of cooking chicken breast in the crockpot, I used a couple pint jars of diced chicken that my mom helped me can awhile back. I simply mixed the ingredients in a dish and nuked it in the microwave until it was hot, adding the cilantro afterwards. Since we already had some corn tortillas in the fridge, we fried them into semi-hard shells. I diced up tomatoes, shredded lettuce and topped with sour cream and shredded pepper jack cheese. Definitely go for the pepper jack; it makes all the difference, I think. And we love this Mexican rice recipe, so I fixed that as a side.
